Network Architecture

Network Architecture is a design paradigm, crucial for the structure and behavior of computer networks. Coursera's Network Architecture catalogue equips you with the competencies required to design, implement, and manage both small-scale and large-scale networks. You'll learn about the layers of network architectures, principles of network design, protocols, different types of networks such as LAN, WAN, and WLAN, and the usage of networking hardware like routers and switches. Furthermore, you will gain insight into modern networking technologies like cloud computing and virtualization, cybersecurity protocols, and how to optimize network performance and reliability. This skill set will pave the way for you to excel in roles such as network architect, network engineer, and IT manager.
